   About George Nelson

George got his musical training as a teenager, where he learned to harmonize under the lampposts of Mulberry Street in Baltimore, MD. Blessed with extraordinary talent, George taught himself to play several musical instruments by ear. George’s career began in earnest when he was doodling on a piano in a hotel lobby and the manager asked him if he wanted a job. The rest is history. George has been entertaining audiences along the Front Range from Colorado Springs to Boulder, CO for over 40 years. He still doesn’t read music, he feels it playing & singing with a soulful, intimate approach to his delivery of a song that can only be described as a musical expression of emotion. Performing with sophisticated technique, timing and phrasing George is a combination of extraordinary talent and elegant expression that continually leaves audiences yearning for more.

The "Work Song" performed live at Johnny's Cigar Bar.
